Hoary bats are large, dark-colored and heavily furred bats. The tip of their hair is white, giving the bat a frosted, or hoary appearance.

This is the most wide spread of all of the bats found in the United States; it occurs from Hawaii to Iceland to Bermuda and the Dominican Republic.

I found this little guy sleeping in a tree. What a surprise to find him as they are rarely seen.

Hoary bats spend the summer days hidden in the foliage of trees. Much like the red bat, they choose a leafy site open beneath them, and usually 10-15 feet above the ground. Because hoary bats are solitary roosting bats and keep themselves well hidden, this species is usually never encountered by humans.

In the evening, the hoary bat emerges late, and they may wake and fly during late after noon on warm winter days. Almost nothing is known of the feeding habits of this species, however it is suggested that hoary bats feed on moths, beetles, dragonflies, and mosquitoes. This probably explains why he was in my neighborhood since I live close to the lake (Lake Havasu).

Here's my little "Lovey Dog" "Scooter" he's not feeling to well. He has injured is back and for an 11 1/2 year old that's not good. He's on pain and muscle medication and it does seem to be helping him. He goes to the Vet today so we'll find out how she thinks he's doing. Say a prayer for him, because he is so special...

About Me

My home is in Lake Havasu City, AZ where I work part time at Hobby Lobby and live with my "wild and crazy" Min Pin Tango. He is soooo much fun and truly a joy...Love that dog!!!.
I have always been creative and love many different forms of art. Jewelry and Interior Design are my favorites. I have designed custom homes, custom swimming pools and was a florist and owned a floral shop. The list goes on. I always have to be creative...it's who I am.
My passion (or I should say addiction) is creating beautiful and unique one of a kind jewelry. It seems that that is all I think about and dream about...It's a wonderful thing.
I'm self taught and love to learn new jewelry techniques. I started designing jewelry about five years ago using gemstones and semi precious stones and then I discovered Lampwork Beads. They are the most wonderful and gorgeous little glass treasures. I specially love Boro Lampwork Beads for their special beauty and strength. Animal print is, also, a big favorite of mine.
